WOAH . . . no way, I want Tarzan to go to mars . . .and have his own adventure, that has nothing to do with John Carter .. . just tarzan journeying to barsoom, maybe meeting carter, maybe fighting alongside carter . . . but no confrontation between the two, forcing the two main characters to fight in a crossover is a good way to sink it.

though i enjoyed the Dark Horse Tarzan/John Carter team up i did find their reason for conflict to be a bit contrived.

but the time traveler . . .well I have to say that is probably because the morlocks and eloi have become so centralized to the story adn the idea of the story that exploring ideas outside of them (exploring the freaking TIEM TRAVEL ASPECT OF THE TIME MACHINE) has become taboo in a sense. As well the idea of a time traveler travelling through time has been soooooooo overdone.

If dynamite did a "time machine" story I would want it set in the time period of the morlocks, and I wouldnt want it called "the time machine" or anything. It would almost need to be a sequal to it, and the universe would have to be treated kinda like Thundarr or Herculoids . . . .

if the Eloi/Morlock time is central to the story . . . make it central, and explore that world and what it means, the various other peoples that may have evolved in it and how the time traveler . . . after abandoning time traveler, would affect and change this future world

Or they could do Captain Nemo . . . but re-imagine the story as a space-traveler version of the character. I would read 20,00 lightyears beyond in a heartbeat.

The way those two books ended for me, they are ripe for further exploration.
Does Dynamite own the rights for the Rook, I remember that the Warren version had a connection to the Time-traveler.( didn't like the Harris version in the 90's)
If set in modern times a Captain Nemo series could be a cool scifi/pirate book.

Ok, I"m being serious here, but who owns the rights to make a Mortal Kombat comic book? I think it was attempted a long time ago but dropped.

A one time mini-series, Obviously from a story point of view its pretty much acknowledges itself as a excessive use of violence for the sake of it. Not sure if its worth it on the business end though, there is no room and little audience to make it more then a one time mini, and if it stays true to the mortal kombat games then it will undeniably be a bad story , I just think it would be fun at the same time.
